I asked the Dealer to the leave the car 'as is' other than to remove all the transport film, which is part of the PDI, which they did
My car was filthy ! It was covered in a layer of muck with adhesive all over the place

As collected -

I did find a little marring on the bonnet & ROS door which were easy enough to remove

Thought I would try some 'old school' products on this Detail. I've used these before on one of my cars but it was some time ago TBH

All the remaining transport film/plastic seat coverings removed from the exterior and interior

Superb colour and a great first detail dude! I am chomping at the bit to get to work on mine after collecting Saturday. Unfortunately the weather had different ideas. Roll on Sunday!

Looks amazing! Simple question: is the britemax twins the recommended product to clean exhaust tips? If so where should I buy it and how do I apply it for best results?

Thanks!
I was a big fan of Solvol Autosol before I found Britemax twins, which TBH, I find a much better product
Any plans brother or is it staying as is?
Cupra's staying as is mate
Apart from a LED reversing light upgrade lol
